Where to get these goodies!?
There are many different brands out there and i'm sure are as great too. But these ones that i got are from The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. Unlike other brands i know, they are not over-priced and worth the money for really good quality tasting tea! There's an outlet at Tangs (Orchard Rd) basement. Prices ranges from $18-$25 per bag of 80gm. A bag of leaves could probably make you about 30-40 cups! So i say go for it! and be tea people for a better health!
